Missed the last pocket from the ground another couple times. I think if this were at a local I'd keep putting time into it but probably not worth it on trips

Amazing climbing. Most of the route gave me no real trouble (the moves around and past the upper roof to the last bolt are awesome!) but the only way I could do the top crux is via the undercling mono (I couldn't use the sharp crimp) and -though I could do it- it just felt dangerously tweaky without some targeted training. One to come back for (with some preparation )

Tried to link from the ground and managed to get half way before stuffing up beta. Ended up figuring out the final moves using low left hand pocket which made the move to the last pocket quite solid. Feels possible. Very cool hard climbing

Bolt to bolt for the most part just working out beta. Linked all the moves until last draw to anchor. Tried a bunch of stuff but couldn't get anything to stick. Felt impossible

Had my first proper look at this route, I was super intimidated by the thought of the pocket boulder at the top but stuck the move quickly. Cant wait to start going for some links!

After ticking Meet the G first red point burn, I felt pretty confident this would go down pretty easily. Turns out that move is still low percentage. Two solid attempts - both of which I had the power just not the luck to send.

First session trying to red point it. Got a high point and a very good link. Fell after the 4th draw going to the rest before the roof. Send feels far, but getting to the rest gives you a good fighting chance!!

Nice climbing up to the last problem, that final move is tricky even in isolation. A fairly unpleasant and very committing sequence. Probably won't jump back on it for a bit.

3 laps. Really funky climbing, with a rad slimper start, and a bloody hard pocketed finale. Linked to the last bolt but never really sorted the final moves of that sequence to the anchors. Bailed from the last bolt in the end.

I actually felt strong enough to get it today. Three solid goes each ending with the throw to the pocket. My second go I actually got close to hitting the target but didn't manage to latch it. Off the rope, I was close(ish) to getting it static - pulling right up and snapping up with my left rather than the usual throw.

Three solid attempts after putting up the draws. The first ended in a foot slip at the crux, the second I missed the pocket and the third ended with a fizzle after yelling take! Still happy to make progress - it was the first time I've done that move!

Blast through easy territory to a great rest then a rad boulder to gain the anchors. Need so much accuracy for the deadpoint to the pocket! Could have gone on the 2nd shot or 200th shot. First send of the season, feeling good!

A Super route that exceeded my expectations. Fun start that keeps you on your toes, a good rest in the sadly sandy middle jugs then buckle up for the top.. A couple big dynos see you through the roofs and on to the reachy, sinker pockets at the top.. Two taster shots, back soon for the rematch..
